Home for Christmas Day (2017 TV Movie)
6/10
Remember the title of the movie, and you won't be too depressed
30 August 2019
Warning: Spoilers
When I first saw the trailer almost two years ago I didn't think much of it. I just finished watching two movies about people in active service being called during the Christmas season.

The movie is set near FORT GARLAND, Colorado, where CATHERINE BELL's character, Jane McKendrick, and her daughter, Betsy(MATREYA FEDOR), stayed on even after her husband, Daniel, was killed in action when he was deployed in an undisclosed place.

Betsy has an instant connection with Private Tyler Sloane(ANTHONY KONECHNY) as soon as he enters the Diner where she works part time at, owned by handsome and single Jackson(VICTOR WEBSTER), who is in love with Betsy's mom, Jane.

Betsy is eighteen(18), so she's an adult, but she's also a senior in High School. She is very intelligent, and I'm sure, if she sets her mind into it, she would be a great veterinarian one day. She is a finalist for a full scholarship in one of the prestigious schools in California, plus she sings well.

Even with all that, her mom is overprotective of her, because she doesn't want her to experience the same kind of pain she underwent, not knowing by doing so, she is kind of driving her away, and hurting her even more.

Yes, Christmas-Reviewer, her mother has a point, and hat's why I also gave it a six like you. The movie's characters is sort of unfair to her. Betsy's in High School, but we have to remember she's also already eighteen years. In other societies, eighteen is still a child, but in the US of A, eighteen is considered an adult already, and Betsy is headstrong. Still, even if she's a bright kid, why did she make her mother worry more?

In the hospital it was normal for Jane to feel "that way", but I also understand the hurt Tyler and Betsy felt.

the Plus Points for Me

*I love horses, and the horses are beautiful

*the ice skating rinks

*the good people who love Jane and Betsy
